Ban on Smacking I want you to firstly consider - to what degree can the law be too intrusive in our day to day lives? The handout I have supplied you has differing views on parenting and if it is acceptable to smack a child. Should the law be involved to this degree in parenting? You are required to write a response to the material provided clearly arguing your point of view. (I expect more than a two sentence response as this is a very sensitive issue for many people who have polarised opinions
Parents shouldn’t let their children off for doing the wrong thing but physical punishment isn’t any better than what the child/ren did in the first place. Parents shouldn’t hit their child/ren because of a little mistake they made because it could cause the children to hit their toys and want to hit other people. If parents want to discipline their children they should tell them calmly what their doing wrong not by smacking them and yelling at them. Smacking should be illegal and should be fined money if they hit their child/ren. Mother of 3 Belinda O’Sullivan says she would hit her children 3 and 2 on the hand or bottom because their in danger, because their misbehaving near a busy road but she wouldn’t hit her 6 months son because he doesn’t understand. While as Mangan Georgiou smacked her first child when she was young but realised it was wrong straight away and hasn’t laid a finger on her ever since and never smacked her son. “I used to think a little smack won’t hurt, but it’s violent” but since she doesn’t like smacking she takes TV privileges, doesn’t aloud them to have friends over or pocket money withdrawal instead of smacking them. Personally I wasn’t really hit as a child and if they did something wrong I would yell at them but if they were did danger I would have to do something to get their attention. 2.

How much time in this class is profitable (used for learning)? Explain
Mostly all the time but depends how hard or easy the work is.
What is one word you would use to describe your class?
Interesting.
What are your goals for Semester 2?
Study harder and get higher grades.
For each of your goals, review your progress and rate yourself on how well you have achieved each goal (out of "5 stars") explaining the reasons for each rating.
Irate "study harder" 3 and a half. because I dont always study.
I rate "get higher grades" 2 because im not getting higher grades. :(
How prepared do you feel you are to undertake a VCE subject next year?
No, I think i'll work with year 10 subjects.
Decide on three goals for the remainder of the semester
To complete all my work
Pass with a good grade
Not leave my work to the last minute
Justify why you chose these goals
I want to finish all my work because I don't want to behind and fail
So iI can pass this year with a good grade
So I'm not stress because I haven't done my work.
Explain how you will measure or determine if you have succeeded in meeting these goals
Give 100% in class all the time.
Study hard and focus on my work in class and at home.
Do my homework as quick as possible in detail.
During the past few weeks: I have learnt about the White Settlement in Australia. I most enjoyed the Humanities class on the computer tasks. My attitude has alright but could get better. My behaviour has good but can be better. My interim report in the subject wilI indicate that I am doing my work and I'm a good student. The hardest task I have had to complete was the Research essay on the Great Southern land. My workbook is a bit messy but not so bad. My greatest strength is researching about history. The two areas of my learning that I want to focus on improving are: 1. Completing my homework and handing it on time.
2. completing my class work and not getting it for homework. I am happy with computer working and the task we get in class.
What is the most important thing that you have you learnt in Humanities in the past month?
the fact that captain cook didn't actually find australia , he claimed Australia. What did you do to help yourself learn?
Not getting distracted in class and listening to the teacher. What did you do that made it difficult for you to learn well?
Getting distracted and not asking the teacher for help. Who did you work with? Were these effective (good) working relationships?
I've worked with John and Sophia. These working relationships were effictive. How is your progress towards meeting your goals for the semester?
my goal is slowly coming but i can do alot more for it to be completed.
